Join Repair PDX on Sunday, June 21 from 10am-1pm and learn traditional Japanese Sashiko embroidered mending!


Learn to mend your clothing using the traditional Japanese visible mending art of sashiko embroidery! Sashiko is an embroidery technique that stabilizes and reinforces mends in fabric while adding beautiful embellishment. No embroidery experience required!

In this small hands-on workshop, our lovely instructor Angela will walk you through creating and adding a sashiko patch to an item of clothing or fabric with a tear or hole. She will talk about the history of Sashiko, what ways it is used today, and which mending situations are most suited to sashiko use. You will choose the sashiko pattern stencil you wish to trace and will go home with thread and a needle (and fabric if desired) to finish your project with and/or start others at home!


Location: Leaven Community Center, 5431 Northeast 20th Avenue
